Watched by the Husband

Calla Bray has been married for six years and has never had a key to her own front door. Daniel unlocks it for her. He also knows how long she showers, what she buys, and which of her friends she has been messaging. So Calla built a second life inside the first. A notebook hidden in a cookbook. A burner phone. A bank account nobody has ever seen. Then she finds a camera in the smoke detector, and she stops hiding. She starts performing. She tests him with a packed suitcase, a fake prescription, a neighbour who smiles at her. Every test is being watched. Every reaction is being recorded. By the time Daniel realises his wife has not been living under his camera for six years but behind it, the police will already have the footage. And Calla will have the only key she has ever wanted.
